A Tennessee homeowner held two escaped inmates wanted in the killing of two prison guards at gunpoint Thursday until authorities arrived and made the arrests.
Tennessee Highway Patrol spokesman Lt. Bill Miller said late Thursday that the homeowner caught Donnie Rowe and Ricky Dubose trying to steal his vehicle.
Miller says the escaped Georgia inmates had crashed a car while being chased by law enforcement and fled on foot into woods along Interstate 24 near the rural community of Christiana.
Miller says something alerted the homeowner that people were outside his home and he saw the men trying to steal his vehicle. The trooper says the homeowner held the two at gunpoint with a neighbor he called until the Rutherford County Sheriff's Department could get there to arrest them.
Rowe and Dubose are accused of killing two guards on a prison transfer bus early Tuesday. Authorities had offered a $130,000 reward for information leading to their arrests.

Kinda surprised by this. I figured they’d die in a shootout with police.

This great citizen better get the reward money
The sheriff has already said they are not paying out the reward.
A big metal gold coin would be nice.
Did you see this?
Not Paying Reward !?!
Local news channel has him on tape saying looks like we are going to be able to save that money trying to find link.
Made up weasel excuse saying it was because of law enforcement efforts they were caught.
The story earlier on 970 WFLA didn’t mention the home owner and neighbor apprehending the escaped cons.
Hmmm, I wonder if they gave an updated version later?

Great Job, Citizen!
See post 49.
I just saw yours.

This is why guns need to be done away with—only government can keep you safe.............................
Meaningful savings would have accrued with two room-temp escapees perforated multiple times.
Should have been shotgunned by the homeowner.
The homeowner has some big cojones. I guess he let them know he was serious.
Financially encourage good old fashioned bounty hunters with a James Bond license to kill.
I LOVE this story, but . . .
The gun grabbers aren’t going to appreciate it, ONE BIT.
Ha ha!
